Question

The book store earned x dollars in profit. Last week, the total profit
increased by 5%. Which expression represents the book store's total
increase in profit?

Answer 1

Answer:

x + 0.05x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Earnings earned by the bookstore = x

percentage increase = 5%

Increment = 5% of x

Increment = 0.05x

book store's total  increase in profit = Original earning + increment

book store's total  increase in profit x + 0.05x

Hence the expression that represents the book store's total  increase in profit is x + 0.05x
